I personally think "own/control your own data" being the punchline for most web3 products is at best extremely weak esp. when facing consumers. 

Consumers don't tend to optimize for "safety" when they are looking for fun. It's rarely ever the primary hook.

Yeah think this only is an ok selling point for bigger creators that might be scared of getting kicked out if the algorithm and want to retain their audience

yes. personally think this approach isn’t it. 

even Ninja could not make Microsoft Mixer (twitch competitor. rip) become the thing. 

would more users have come to Mixer if it had the “own your data” punchline? i don’t think so.

So what else do you think makes a better case?

from ephemeral msgs, filtered photos, to live video - the hook is what brings the user to the door of the app and try it. unique to every app. 

i still have yet to seen something that went far beyond "own/control your own data" in the space.

chicken or egg imo. "interesting data from users on D1" - where do they come from? more L3 applications have to excel at retaining DAUs

What if the value prop of user owned data is actually mainly for devs? Ex. Easier ways to seed apps with interesting data brought by users on day 1 -> more content to use/mix with UX -> more fun experiments
